Parasites, sex, and clonal diversity in natural snail populations.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2011

King Kayla C, Jokela Jukka, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

Under the Red Queen hypothesis, host-parasite coevolution selects against common host genotypes. Although this mechanism might underlie the persistence of sexual reproduction, it might also maintain high clonal diversity. Alternatively, clonal diversity might be maintained by multiple origins of parthenogens from conspecific sexuals, a feature in many animal groups. Herein, we addressed the maintenance of overall...
